There are different reasons to become a landlord. Depending on your personal circumstances, various aspects of being a landlord may be of interest to you.
Additional income from rent
By renting out private living space as trade fair accommodation, your return on investment will be significantly higher than your yield in ordinary leasing. Visitors of trade fairs and exhibitions take prices for hotel rooms as their yardstick, which are scarce and expensive during trade fairs. As a consequence, they are willing to pay daily rates that will be attractive for you. For you as a home owner with unused premises, as owner of a furnished apartment, of a flat or studio, this translates into interesting financial perspectives.
Supplement your income through rent
Are you a pensioner not yet ready to have a rest? Renting out your guest room, your condominium or holiday home is an interesting way of earning additional income. If you are living on your own and don't like to be alone in the house, offering trade fair accommodation for rent is a great way to prevent loneliness. Many trade fair visitors have no friends or relatives in your city and will be happy to have a friendly, attentive interlocutor at breakfast time. Thanks to the international orientation of expo-rooms, you have the additional benefit of making acquaintance with interesting people from all over the world!
Re-entry into working life?
Your kids have left home and you are trying to re-enter professional life? Why not rent out those empty nurseries to visitors of trade fairs and exhibitions? Why don't you start your own bed & breakfast? The unused rooms could be an ideal start into self-employment. You will be your own boss and mingle with respectable, pleasant people. Many business travelers are discovering the advantages of private accommodation over hotel rooms. Apart from the fact that private accommodation is usually cheaper than a hotel room, many business travelers appreciate the personal contact with their landlord when they decide to stay at a bed & breakfast. This is an increasing trend on which you can cash in!
Want to earn money from home?
Who does not know those newspaper ads promising lucrative sideline jobs which you can work from home? Most of them are not serious!
At expo-rooms, you are your own boss. Your home becomes your home office! With expo-rooms, you alone decide how you earn your income, without depending on dubious organisations. All you need is a furnished room or furnished apartment which you want to let. Besides that, you need an internet access that allows you to receive emails, and a telephone where you can be reached. You don't enter into any commitment with expo-rooms! No membership fees, charges, or seed capital! Where else would you get such an offer?
A new business idea, starting an agency
Nowadays it's not easy to find your dream job! Maybe your current job doesn't appeal to you any more and you have been looking for a career change all along? Why don't you set off with your own agency for trade fair accommodation as a sideline job? Without taking any risk, in your spare time or on weekends. In your own time, you look for available private accommodation in your area and offer it at expo-rooms. As the contact person, you indicate yourself instead of the landlord (and the address at which the keys will be handed over). The lease for the room will be set by the landlord, you add your commission on top. Payment will be due when you hand over the keys.
It makes sense that you also manage the bookings. Once you know for which dates an accommodation is available, you simply go to expo-rooms.com and open those dates for booking. So you don't have to come to a make-or-break decision between your current job and a part-time job as an agent, after all. You choose the days on which you want to test in your own time whether your new activity as an accommodation bureau proves promising or not. If you make your new initiative your full-time job, you may even be eligible for a business start-up allowance.
Existing agencies are welcome
Are you already running an agency for private accommodation, trade fair accommodation or other accommodation services? No problem! You can simply upload and manage your offer at expo-rooms.com. You will see that in most cases it is much simpler and cheaper to offer rooms at expo-rooms than paper- and phone-based. With expo-rooms, you save time, you will be more organized and you'll have no extra charges. Your offer will be presented to an international audience in a professional makeup, and it's all for free! A comparable international web presence of your own would cost you a fortune and would absorb all your profits. Not so at expo-rooms! Our service is entirely free of charge, even for agencies.
Are you out of work? Long-term unemployed?
Nowadays it's hard to find a good job! Have you crossed a certain age line, are your qualifications no longer in demand, or would you not like to re-enter your former profession? State work creation schemes or part-time jobs are not the solution! Why not supplement your unemployment benefit, using your own apartment? As the manager of a bed & breakfast, you don't need to present diplomas or your CV, nor do you have to compete with hundreds of rival applicants. Your success depends exclusively on how happy your customers are. With a bed & breakfast of your own, you become an entrepreneur overnight. You don't need any seed capital or other investment! You use the internet platform of expo-rooms free of charge to offer your rooms. All you need is an internet connection which allows you to receive emails, and a telephone where you can be reached.
Are you a real estate owner?
Have you recently become a homeowner and have a high mortgage to pay off? In that case, a guest room rented regularly could provide some extra liquidity! During trade fairs, trade fair accommodation trades at high rates, with hotel room rates as their yardstick. With the welcome extra income, you can refurbish the interior decoration of your home or finance your next holiday.
Maybe you own a property that is currently vacant and don't find a tenant? If you can't find a long-term tenant, why not let your property as trade fair accommodation? During trade fairs, hotel rooms will be scarce or fully booked, so trade fair visitors welcome private accommodation as a most welcome alternative. This way, you may generate even higher rental income than by renting out on a monthly basis.
Are you a student looking for a summer job?
Do you have to finance your own education? Pay tuition fees, rent, clothes, food, all out of your own pocket? Will a part-time job be sufficient? Lucrative part-time jobs are hard to get, how about a part-time job instead which you could spread over the whole year, and which would cost you just a few hours per week? When a trade fair is in town, accommodation is hard to find, so trade fair visitors are appreciative about any alternatives. How about offering unused student accommodation to trade fair visitors? All you need to do that is a computer which allows you to receive emails, and a telephone where you can be reached. With a little bit of organising ability, you can establish your own little accommodation agency and thus finance your studies with little effort!
Additional Services
Why not take the opportunity and offer additional paid services to your guest? For example, providing pickup service, laundry & ironing service, or why not offer a guided tour around the city, rounded off by a visit to some nice pub? Maybe your guest would like to do some sports when returning from the trade fair? You can start your own little booking agency! Many trade fair visitors will be happy to buy such a great service.
Why expo-rooms?
Expo-rooms is based on an entirely new concept: private accommodation, rooms, apartments or houses, can be booked online directly with the landlord, the same way you would book a hotel room! Via the expo-rooms calendar tool, you can open your rooms for booking for specific dates. Once a guest has booked a specific date, the room is not available on that date for further bookings. This saves you cumbersome and time-consuming requests for reservation, inquiries and confirmations. Expo-rooms concentrates their efforts on visitors of trade fairs who are looking for last-minute accommodation. Your guests will have paid a non-refundable commission for our agency service, so you can be confident that they are seriously interested.
The private supply of trade fair accommodation and smaller hotels is currently dispersed over a range of different media (the internet, the yellow pages, tourist offices). Most people balk at searching individual homepages offering private rooms, without knowing whether they are still available. Expo-rooms consolidates private accommodation for overnight stay and affordable hotels in one concise, easy-to-use professional internet platform. Visitors of trade fairs can quickly get an overview of available rooms in the area, at a time when the big hotels are fully booked since long ago. As private landlords and small hotels can not be found in any search engine so far, or at least not be booked online, expo-rooms provides a real alternative for visitors of trade fairs and exhibitions looking for last-minute accommodation!
Trade fair visitors are an international audience these days. With our international, multilingual online platform, you reach significantly more people than you would reach with your own homepage or even via traditional media.
For you as a landlord, expo-rooms is the cheapest solution at all. You don't need to run your own internet homepage in order to rent out your rooms. You don't have to pay to reserve a URL, to look for and pay for a hosting provider, and you don't have to take care of elaborate web design. Not to mention the many professional functionalities, like the electronic calendar tool with sophisticated date and price management, encrypted online booking, automatic email confirmation and other extras, which are a must for a cutting-edge professional web site. All of these are made available to you by expo-rooms free of charge!
The professional makeup of the website increases your credibility and constitutes a vital competitive advantage over other landlords! All you need is a computer which enables you to receive emails and a telephone where you can be reached.
You're not taking any risk!
If you are prevented for any reason or you don't want to let your rooms any longer, you can close all dates for booking, any time you want. The closure takes effect immediately and you will not receive any further bookings. That's it! You undertake no financial commitment with expo-rooms at any time!
